With the nationwide start of the new electronic patient files (EPA), its criticism is also increasing. In addition to IT protection, communication around EPA is also focused on. So far, only a small portion of the population has been sufficiently reported. The EPA should actually ensure “mature patients”.
However, it does not work without information and transparency. Nationwide rollouts around EPA and communication are rapidly criticized by different directions. “The nationwide start of the EPA is ahead of time, as technical safety intervals are reliable and verified,” says manual Hoffman from German Edshilf to Hij Online. In addition, the beginning is non -transparent because patients cannot know that “related exercises can already reach EPA”. So be one Good information proposal All more important.

Inadequate information proposal is also criticized by the Federal Consumer Center (VZBV). “Patients: In our view, explanation, especially about the potential risks of EPA, has been neglected so far. A low contradiction rate in the EPA is not a clear indication of comprehensive approval, it can also be an expression of information and lack of education.
Originally, the EPA was to be rolled out in February and is mandatory for doctors after four -time test phase. This led to a lot of resentment for doctors due to various defects, so that it is now “soft start”, as it is now called by those involved. In October, doctors are to be bound, then with restrictions from 2026.
Vague
“However, the challenge due to the company’s organizational is not a little smaller. Rather, new ambiguity comes from the practice-specific decision, whether it, and whether it all, with an EPA, about the organizational challenges, or practices on the cables of the deal, new communication and medical care centers” Page of Federal Association of Medical Care Center To read. In addition, those responsible in practices and MVZs have to sort oversupply of detailed information.
Dr. from Free Medical Council There is also a strong criticism from the silke lodder: “We ask those responsible for stopping this fruitless Arab-dollar project-at least citizens protect the proper risk through education and guarantee the actual health (opt-in model) for patients and doctors”. Real control of data for patients is possible only due to complex technical processes.
EPA is actually still in the test phase
Prior to the introduction of EPA, the Federal Association of Health also spoke of the fact that many practices have not yet made conditions for EPAs. Bitcom Managing Director Dr. Bernhard Rohalder said, “We require a strong integration of clear responsibilities, equal standards and specialization from the digital industry. EPA must be easy to use, should be obstructed and compatible with all system-geland solutions.”
Safety intervals continue
To increase EPA security, the number of authorities for EPA access in future will be limited to a laudable size. From the point of view of at least operators, the landscape of a grand attack on EPA is now excluded. “Large -scale access to health data was made more difficult, even with a truly suitable measures,” said Linus Pneumon of the Caos Computer Club recently on ZDF.
In addition, targeted access to data from individuals is still possible without electronic health card, which is to be placed in the card terminal in practice. However, knowledge of card number is sufficient Loudly Now, for example, card insurance number and further information are also necessary. “The combination of these measures prevents the scenarios of potential attacks. The package of measures provides effective protection against potential attacks on high number of patient files,” promises gametic.
During the test phase, doctors in pilot areas gave an permission in pilot areas, which is a positive list for institutional cards. This list has now been removed. In addition, many practices are not sensitive to IT protection. What does Federal Association of Legislative Dental Association provides information about Exercise for more IT safety (PDF). According to their own statements, gemptix and its shareholders also ensure better sensitization. “There are also additional measures that work against further use of stolen or practical cards sold,” the gametic said.
Neither the Federal Data Protection Officer nor the Federal Office of Information Technology (BSI) has so far commented on EPA’s data security. “Patients live alone in this mixture,” criticism of the alliance “contradiction of electronic patient files” including data protectionists, patients, doctors, dentists and psychiatrists and who advise against previous knowledge.
